Re: 2nd Cambodian Deportee going home!!!
I could understand if the guy was convicted of a crime and a part of that conviction was to be deported after serving his sentence, but it appears to me that deportation is being added to the sentence, after he has done his punishment, and sometimes many year later.
Have i got it right ?

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It seems that was the case. .. I remember reading on here about that fact... For most of them-- unfortunately they never became citizens-- So it's under different rules but yea it seems fucked up. Esp if non-violent, was done years ago and aren't repeated offenders.Duncan wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 7:32 am I could understand if the guy was convicted of a crime and a part of that conviction was to be deported after serving his sentence, but it appears to me that deportation is being added to the sentence, after he has done his punishment, and sometimes many year later.

Different views on what should be done. I know a female as well who is here. From what she told me it was a credit card fraud issue

Re: 2nd Cambodian Deportee going home!!!
I am really glad to hear this as I think it is terribly inhumane to deport criminals that have grown up in a particular country. In a way, the blame could be apportioned to the parents for not registering their children as citizens. Likewise, the support probably wasn't there when the parents arrived as refugees to understand the process......I how this is the beginning of a lot more returnees being returned!!

He's home.
Deported Cambodian refugee returns to Sacramento under court ruling after burglary sentence
By Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks

Deported five years ago, Veasna Meth has had to watch his family grow – and grow up – in Sacramento from nearly 8,000 miles away.
But he never lost hope.
“I knew one day I would be able to get back,” he said Thursday at San Francisco International Airport upon his return from Cambodia after he was deported in 2014.
Meth, who moved with his family to the United States when he was less than a year old and grew up in Sacramento, was deported after having served time for a residential burglary he committed when he was 19.
He had never been to Cambodia, and was not fluent in the native Khmer – his family members, like thousands of others, were refugees who fled the violent Khmer Rouge regime. Meth was born in a refugee camp in the Philippines.
“He’s always considered Sacramento his home,” said one of his lawyers, Melanie Kim of the Asian Law Caucus.
